This article explores the construction of an Agentic Project Harness.
- Core Concept: Mainstream AI coding assistants like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot rely on a built-in "Harness" system under the hood.
- Key Mechanisms: This framework handles essential tasks including tool routing, permission checks, context management, and error recovery, serving as the foundational infrastructure for agents to execute complex coding tasks reliably.
